Sensible suggestion. Would take significant infrastructure, but it would make the site a lot more usable. Similar to Get emailed when things happen, and wants to share infrastructure with it.

So I'm envisaging:

• When you create a cardset or a card, you automatically "subscribe" to it
• Profile has new option "Subscribe to anything I comment on [ ]"
• When something happens to something you're subscribed to (edits or comments), a "message" gets stored for you. This will
• get stored on-site in a list of "responses" like StackExchange sites have, accessed via /users/1/responses.
• When you browse direct to the thing you're being notified about (the cardset comments page in case of cardset comments), all messages about that item get "marked as read" and disappear from the responses page
• After you visit the responses page, all messages that existed at that point are marked as read.

The second stage will add:

• Profile has new option "Get emailed on responses: [immediately] [daily] [never]"
• When something happens to something you've subscribed to, your message will also get sent by email if you've selected that option.

Does that sound like that'd meet what people want?

It'll take a bit of doing - at least a month, likely more - but it's a reasonable proposal.

Circeus requested this as well, over on watchlist.

Re: the "Subscribe to anything I comment" option, it should be possible to at least unsubscribe individual entries (alternatively, commenting has a "subscribe to this") box.

Good point - thanks.

Still not a thing :(
